Vita Nuova: When people don't understand you,No need to complain about it. Just wait for a while,Work for your soul And be happy,`cause Working for yourself You work for people. And once somebody will notice Your underground work end exclaim:"Look you guys,who is here!"That will be your rebirth. Alexander Karpenko.
